Far from being the product of a democratic revolution and of an opposition to English institutions, the constitution of the United States was the result of a powerful reaction against democracy, and in favor of...

Eponymous brands aren’t that popular with analysts and investors now. You can only take an eponymous brand with a living figurehead so far, they argue. What happens when they grow old and die? What happens...

‘Portnoy’s Complaint’ was very far out there, and movies have always worked when you have either a funny situation between two or more people or a very dramatic situation. There’s not that much difference.

There isn’t a class structure in Nigeria; there’s a tribal structure and prestige as far as money is concerned.

Don’t sell yourself short because without that you can’t go far in life because after sports the only thing you know is sports and you can’t do anything else with that.

As far as wages are concerned, the only difference between immigration and birth is that birth takes longer.

I was seeing everything through pain. I would roll out of bed and do my exercises. I had to do that to work out the remainder of the pain pills. I would drink coffee and...

Preaching is to much avail, but practice is far more effective. A godly life is the strongest argument you can offer the skeptic.

You have 60 countries in the world with a terrorist problem. That’s two-thirds of the world. We have this group in Basilan, which is a small island in the far south of the Philippines, and...

I’d never been to acting school, so I never thought I’d get this far.

Sometimes a faint voice based on instinct resonates far more strongly than overpowering logic.

What I will learn over the years will be of benefit and interest to me personally but, as far as the program is concerned, I’m the mouthpiece of the viewers as well.

Real education should educate us out of self into something far finer; into a selflessness which links us with all humanity.

I love doing short films because they’re much more intimate and there’s far less waiting around than on the bigger films.

I think the race situation is getting better as far as people respecting each other goes. I think the race situation with entertainment is not that much better.

I think writing a poem is like being a greyhound. Writing a novel is like being a mule. You go up one long row, then down another, and try not to look up too often...

There is an anti-science by the far right. We have to be careful that the far left doesn’t balance this with a naive approach of promising what we can’t deliver. I mean, science is neutral;...

I was kind of the black sheep with the Disney kids. I was uninterested in making friends with most of them. I didn’t really fall into ‘the Disney mold.’ I was more or less the...

Terrorists kill from far, but cowardice is not far. (Les terroristes tuent de loin, – Mais la l cheté n’est pas loin)

A deliberate choice on my part was for the player to continue to find new possibilities in the early Attic rooms far into the game. I think this builds atmosphere, though it means there’s no...

My mother has rheumatoid arthritis. I don’t want to lose the ability to jump up and walk across the room or move around with the energy I’m used to having. That’s far more important to...

Gingrich was a far more volatile and aggressive individual than Boehner, but the institutional norms of self-restraint, and perhaps even self-interest, have broken down under the pressure of an increasingly abnormal Republican Party.

No matter how near, no matter how far, friends forever is what we are

I hate to tell you this, but you will never actually go to a galaxy far, far away and encounter Darth Vader. That’s science fiction; it isn’t going to happen.

I think Melbourne is by far and away the most interesting place in Australia, and I thought if I ever wrote a novel or crime novel of any kind, I had to set it here.

Love comes in far more shapes and sizes than what the family-values crowd condones, of course.

As far I’m concerned, being an adult is way more fun than being a kid. But then I was a kid who wanted to be an adult. I’d watch shows like ‘Bewitched’ and see Darren...

As far as Deep Purple goes, I mean, they’re iconic. Their contribution is unquantifiable, and as far as the politics involved in things like awards, you know, I don’t think anything, because I know what...

I’d take precision any day over power; as far as being tactical you know you have to see what’s going on in there and also understand that for every punch that you or your opponent...

I can tell you who I’d like to work with as far as rock legends. Definitely Dave Grohl from the Foo Fighters. Of course Linkin Park. Actually, I already worked with Travis Barker on a...

Sure, sometimes guys pass you up in salary, and maybe it’s a lesser player, but it’s all based on what a team has as far as value in that person.

I like to make people laugh. That’s for sure. And I really like to humiliate myself and go very far in derision and stuff. But no, I like everything. I started a little bit of...

Patience has its limits. Take it too far, and it’s cowardice.

It’s got to do with putting yourself in other people’s shoes and seeing how far you can come to truly understand them. I like the empathy that comes from acting.

I’ve learned that there’s a signature Metallica sound, and if we stray too far from that, our fans get impatient, or they just don’t understand, or they miss the point. And I’m not saying that’s...

Heartbreak comes in different sizes, and the departure of an 18-year-old child for a far college has to be treated as a very benign form of the disease.

the sound of voice can touch from far.

Our task is a great one, not just because of how far we have fallen. Our task is a great one because of the challenges facing the people we seek to serve.

Perhaps, if science is clever enough to see, it will realize that religion may not be too far off with its concrete imagery; and that relative to the supreme creator, we humans are much like...

By far, the most disabling thing in my life is the physical environment. It dictates what I can and can’t do every day.

Electricity can be dangerous. My nephew tried to stick a penny into a plug. Whoever said a penny doesn’t go far didn’t see him shoot across that floor. I told him he was grounded.

Genes are not simple triggers. No one is hardwired to commit murder or any other crime. Our actions are always the result of stupendously complex gene-environment interactions, and environment is likely to remain the more...

I think the elections have gone well, although there is so much insecurity in Iraq. So far during the counting of ballots, there has not been a significant complaint. We have to wait to see...

A while ago, I did a television adaptation of ‘Bleak House,’ and the character I played, as far as I was concerned, had no redeeming features whatsoever. I wasn’t about to try to find any;...

It’s actually amazing because you go so far into another side of your brain when you’re studying something completely different, and I loved it.

Patience has its limits, take it too far and it’s cowardice.
